Making Oatmeal Cookies - 3/25/08

I'm sorry it has been so long since I've blogged. I've actually received quite a few emails asking why I haven't updated.......I guess there really are people reading this blog out there. Great! I'm going to try to catch everyone up on our latest...............

I have come to realize that Megan's behavior directly correlates to the amount of stimulating activity in her day. Little organized activity = one mischievous toddler and one tired mommy. On this day, I decided to have Megan help me make oatmeal cookies. I found a recipe that sweetens the cookies with applesauce instead of a ton of sugar. I was skeptical but they were quite yummy. Megan absolutely LOVES to be up on that stool helping mommy cook. It was a bit of a struggle to get her to understand she could not taste the raw cookie dough with uncooked eggs. (She seemed bored with my salmonella lecture so I shorted it to a firm NO!)
She's wearing the necklace and Cookie Monster hairclip she got in her Easter basket. She loves to accessorize, just like her mommy! I think it is adorable how she watches and imitates me.

Not so patiently waiting for the cookies to bake!


Are they done yet???

Finally, yummy (and healthy) cookies!
